Laura Moretz

b. 1980 , Hickory, NC

Laura Moretz’s paintings question the impermanence of form while depicting a state of flux. Through various poured techniques and layered drawings, each layer of Moretz’s paintings is informed from the movement of the previous layer. Finding a suspended stillness in the motion of the paint, Moretz’s paintings become a meditation on movement, and the constant search for stillness. Moretz’s paintings are experimental, energetic, and bold. Each painting is its own laboratory into the macrocosm of the universe.
